If you’re anything like us, you’re eagerly anticipating the first big snowfall of the season (and more importantly November 29!) and are on the lookout for anything that is going to get you amped for the upcoming season.
Well, look no further!
Here’s what you need to do: go grab some popcorn and get ready to see Revelstoke take over the big screen!
Last season we were lucky enough to have five of the top production companies in the biz shooting feature films here; and what better way to start getting psyched for the 2014/15 season than watching some of the biggest names in skiing and snowboarding tearing it up in our winter wonderland?
(Face it, it’s better than your idea of walking around in your long johns and ski boots for the next two months.)
You are sure to recognize some of your favourite RMR terrain in Lynsey Dyer’s highly anticipated film Pretty Faces. The movie, featuring all female skiers and geared towards a female audience, is the first first entirely crowd-sourced, crowd-funded ski movie.
If you get a chance to take in the latest Poorboyz masterpiece, Twenty, you’ll see Tanner Hall pushing the limits in the closing segment. Hall spent six weeks in Revy and says his part of the film is 100 percent shot here.
Other top films featuring Revelstoke in a major role are: Teton Gravity Research’s Almost Ablaze, Matchstick Productions’ Days of my Youth and Absinthe’s Heavy Mental.
Below are trailers and Revelstoke tour dates for these not to be missed films… just don’t blame us if after watching them you’re itching to rip some big lines.
